The Tarentaise breed is a type of cattle originating from the Tarentaise Valley in the French Alps. Known for their reddish-brown color, these cows are primarily raised for beef production. They are recognized for their good meat quality, efficient growth rates, and adaptability to various climates. Tarentaise cattle are also valued for their strong maternal instincts and high milk production, making them suitable for both beef and dairy farming. Their hardiness allows them to thrive in mountainous regions, contributing to sustainable agriculture in challenging environments.
